In what is perhaps the single most important action by the United States since the recognition of Ukraine in 1992, HR 3047, titled the U.S.-Ukraine Security Cooperation Enhancement Act, has been introduced in the House of Representatives. The bill’s purpose is “To provide support to Ukraine to defend its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and for other purposes.” Most Importantly, HR 3047 goes on to declare in unequivocal terms that “Ukraine shall be treated as a major-non-NATO ally.”
